Given the reports that the former director of Pemex Carlos Treviño – who is wanted by the Mexican justice system – had been released in the United States, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo pointed out that until yesterday morning there was information that he was still detained in the neighboring country to the north.
In yesterday’s morning conference at the National Palace, when asked specifically about the information that emerged that a US judge determined, after a hearing, that Treviño should continue his immigration process in freedom, with payment of bail, the president said:
“I asked at the morning security meeting and they told me that he is detained in the United States. If there is any other information we would give it during the day. What the representative of the Attorney General’s Office informed us is that he is detained in the United States,” he insisted.
Treviño has an arrest warrant in Mexico for a complaint from Emilio Lozoya, also a former director of Pemex, who linked him to alleged bribes in the case of the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht.
On August 14, the President announced in the morning that Treviño was detained in the United States, following an extradition request from Mexico, so that he could face justice in the country for his probable participation in acts of corruption.
